And I do solemnly swear that I was a resident Citizen of the United States on the 18 th March 1818. and that I have not since that time by gift, sale or in any manner disposed of my property or any part thereof, with intent thereby to diminish it, so as to bring myself within the provision of an Act of Congress "Entitled" "An act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States in the revolutionary War" passed the 18.

That from my wound rec d . in the revolutionary War - with which I have been lame ever since. - and a rupture that I am suffering with, I am unable to do any labour by which to obtain a living and therefore must suffer without the friendly aid of my Country -
